It is supposed be outgoing from ~6:16 a.m. till ~1:12 p.m.
The question is which way is the current going to be going?

I might pass by in the morning on my way back home.

i dont think its going to start running out till about 10 am sunday morning.....i use this http://www.islamoradasportfishing.com/f ... tables.htm and this table...Whale Harbor Channel, Hwy. 1 bridge, Windley Key, Florida
and add 2 and a half to three hours to it for the current change..seems to work very well

Channel #2 is at the end of Lower Matacumbe (east side)...On the site you posted it shows:
high tide at 07:02 a.m. the one I used showed high tide at 6:16 a.m.

And also shows the West side of Channel #2 on Hawk's Channel:
High tide at 6:45 a.m.

But what I meant was that the tides show something but it will not matter since the currents have a mind of their own. It is very difficult to predict them. So we won't know until we get there.... I will try adding the 2 hours for the current variance and will see if it works. I have been there at times where the tide stood still and no changes happened for over 10 hours.

Thanks for the info on that site.

i know the tides down here can do some crazy things....i was at ch 5 a few weeks ago......it was a sunday the tide should have started running out at 745 am.......the day b4 it started about 7 am......well it never went out....just came in all morning

i realize it was actually going out the current was just going the wrong way

.it was pretty crazy though......
